I had read Blackhawk comics back in the early sixties and remembered them fondly. I always enjoyed their adventures, particularly those that involved fantastic machines and devices. They naturally appealed to a young boy fascinated by science and technology. So a few years ago, remembering those Blackhawk comics fondly, I thought I would like to build a model of the Blackhawk airplane. Visiting a comic shop, I bought one comic book (No. 168, January 1962) that had illustrations to serve as references for building the model. Well, of course, that comic led to the purchase of a few more, and then a few more. Soon, I learned that there were other aircraft than the one I remembered from when I was twelve years old, so I decided to build models of those as well, and that naturally led to buying more Blackhawk comics. Before I realized it, I had a sizable collection that continues to expand. The more I read those old comics, the more I appreciated them and wanted to share my enthusiasm. How to do that? The medium of the internet seemed a natural place and since there were no sites dedicated to Blackhawk at the time, I created one.
